Promote a scholarship
The number‑one reason students apply to WSOS is because a trusted adult encouraged them to do so. Your outreach plays a crucial role in helping eligible students across Washington learn about this opportunity.
Our promotion toolkit provides ready-to-use resources — sample messaging, social media posts, and guidance on graphic and logo use. Partners are welcome to use and customize these materials to promote our scholarship to communities around Washington.
